EXACTLY!!!! Cps is a joke & a game when you're low income. Kids out here being abused & murdered, but I had my son's dad thrown in jail for DV & lost my son for using weed.
Nobody said it was fair. But knowing this, people still take a chance using pot around their kids? Why take a chance? It's like you get drunk and you know the cops are out Friday night yeah let's still drive. How dumb do you have to be?
@Esme-gf4jd yeah, but it's not considered child neglect/abuse to get drunk around your children. It is a drug, just the same as marijuana, and if you want to get technical, the same as caffeine and nicotine. All 4 of those are "drugs," and yet the one that actually has medicinal benefits is illegal for most people to use. And NEVER in front of the children! *GASP* What if they learn that it can calm anxiety or alleviate pain?! Where could that lead them in life??? They might grow up to be LIBERALS!!!!!! *Shudder* It's time for people to grow up and get over being prudes. Marijuana is not illegal because it is a drug. It is illegal because the government can not stop people from growing it themselves, which in turn means they can't tax it and get their blood money.
Steve I’m sorry but I lost my kids over weed and they were given to my brother and his wife, they called me unfit and never let me get them back.. I jumped thru all their hoops and still they recommended my brother keep them.. it’s not always fair, even tho I know you wanna believe it is.. it’s not
Before even seeing your comment l disagreed with Steve's take (1st time tho Steve) on this, why?? Because stranger things happen in the justice system every day. Too many times we see mothers come out saying but l, but l, but l. This mother was apologetic from the jump, seems to me she wants to make amends and should be given the benefit of the doubt unless it can proven otherwise. PS l hope you still manage to have a good relationship with your kids, stay strong mama!
Weed isn’t legal in all states. I’m sure in states where it’s legal they won’t remove the kids if it’s just weed use. In this case in the show, I have a strong hunch they were taken for something other than the weed (they should’ve given her a lie detector test imo) Hoping you get your kids back someday much love and strength to you ❤
Knowing that weed was and still is considered a substance 1 drug, I know that this happens and before seeing your comment I thought it was unbelievable that he didn’t believe that. I also know of someone who has had their child taken away because of weed.
I am a child & adolescent therapist. I completely disagree with Steve on this one. Child Protective Services (CPS) will absolutely take children out of a house where cannabis is being consumed in a state (such as Indiana) where it is illegal, and there is suspected neglect or abuse.
I lost my daughter for 11 months for weed. My levels were so low (CPS told me that theirselves) they said they can tell I didnt smoke a lot. But even so they took her away. They gave her to my mom, who was a pill abuser and even came out positive for something she wasnt supposed to have. I did everything and finally got my daughter back but man I just sometimes think and cry about how bad the system did me. I was only 17 but I loved my baby. Years later cps was called on me and I told them they werent allowed to come in because of that, the lady looked at me and said “I saw your file and for that I am so sorry, we dont wanna take your kids away” but man hearing a case worker basically admit they did me wrong was so relieving. Things like that definitely do happen. Steve is one of my favorite people in the world I just wish his cop mentality didnt win him over so much sometimes.
He's like this over these things, not believing innocent people could plead guilty, "believing all women," and treating women who go back to abusive relationships as poor, innocent things who just don't know any better.
Steeeeeeeeveeeee!!! Doing this show as long as you have. Being a cop for as long as you were. YOU never saw any injustice. Come on!! Our 'justice' system isnt so justice!! Idk if she is telling the truth or not but I dislike when he goes of with... "being a policemen for so many years I never seen kids being tooken away for blah blah blah blahh..."
In south carolina i have seen so many mothers have their children taken JUST FOR WEED!!! first time steve jas ever actually pissed me off with his view of things, but this ABSOLUTELY happens!!!
My kid was taken in SC for 8 months because of SUSPECTED ABUSE. She was reported to have bruises all over and a swollen head from head trauma. After being checked it was confirmed that the “bruises” were birthmarks. And the “swollen head” was just her having a large head. I did everything they asked to me to do and they kept her. By the time they gave her back, she had no clue who I was. She was gone from 3 months to 11 months. Luckily I got a judge with common sense eventually and she threw the entire bs case out. If it weren’t for her, I could’ve possibly never seen my daughter again .
I’m gonna tell you now. CPS was called on me for “weed” they stayed on me trying to make it like it was the worst thing on earth when it was legal 10 mins away lol I lived in El Paso and NM was about 15 mins away where it was legal. I’m married, make 50k+ on my own ; plus degrees. I told the lady the last time she came “I’m packing their stuff if you claim it the worst parent either” I literally started packing them small bags and she said “omg noooo neverrr we always wanna keep kids with their families if we can help it blah blah blah” called her bluff never seen them folks again in my damn life!!!!
@@Esme-gf4jdyou are a lame human. And remember, humans are not our gods. We all know the rich can easily get away with stuff like this. It’s weed, weed. Talking about the law and trying to justify taking someone kids. You will be ended taking mine
@@arimocha Again, for the people in the back who didn't hear, if grass isn't legal in your state, and you have to choose between grass and the custody of your children, do the right thing. Yes I actually have a medical MJ card. Nothing wrong with grass, it's a plant. But I guarantee you if I had to choose between a bowl of ganja and my baby daughter...and this lady chose the weed. Simple as that.
Steve doesn't get it, my neighbor went through pretty much the samething.The worst part is weed is legalized where shes from. Took her kids gave them to someone that had no clue on how to take care of kids. They went through hoops to get their kids back they were abused daily. After 3 yrs and over $130,000 she got them back with a lawyer. She had a civil suit against CPS & the judge. She was awarded 375,000 & the kids were awarded $400,000 that was put in a trust for them. When they turn 18 they'll get a portion & again at 21. The new Judge that heard the case said their babies shouldn't have been taken in the first place.
When I was taken from my mother as a teen I was abused and neglected more than I was with my mother. The system isn’t always there to help you. All the foster parents I had loved the money they got for me and never cared about what I needed. My last foster parent was a saving grace. She helped me graduate and get my life on track before I was thrown to the wolves in the real world at 18.
They make too many mistakes with kids! I'm happy to hear you finally found good foster parents that cared to help you! Some people are angels, other have demons all around em, in em...crazy. So seems like you went through hell & then got to see what real love is like. ❤
Steve I love ya but I had a CPS case in 2009 in Sacramento California. Although my case was not drug related I met many families in family court and group counseling that lost their children for smoking weed. It was illegal back then! And CPS is a government funded human resource/business. The more they “serve and protect” the more funding and profit their “business” receives from our government. It’s s big fat crock of shit in a lot of the cases. They do too much and demand extreme compliance for those that maybe just made some bad choices but yet there are so many cases out of my county where children are taken from parents, placed in foster homes where they are abused and often die at the hands of the people that are supposed to be providing and protecting these babies.
I know for a fact they do take your kids from you if you use any kind of drug including weed. Sometimes the courts do rail road some parents. It doesn't happen very often but it does happen.
Breaks my heart to hear what these young ladies went through. I also molested while in foster care. I was only 2. Thankfully i was adopted by my amazing parents and didnt suffer any further abuse but to think that these girls had to endure worse than i did every day for years is heartbreaking. I love that they don't see themselves as victims because they really are SURVIVORS ❤❤
How do you tell someone who been through the same exact thing they don't get it because you're more emoti9nal about your trauma. That's why people dismissed depressed folks
As a former foster child and with a sister too. We were both in different foster homes but experienced the abuse of them. My sister took until she was 30 to realize the damage done to us. She completely blocked out the truama and thought i was lying. She was a thief, prostitute and druggie. I cut her out my life at 23 because she refused to face her past. I was always aware of the truama so i was the angry one with lots of emotional truama. No one believed i could stay as sane as i was with my abuse but i refused to turn a blind eye. At 23 i almost killed myself but survived a decided to cut all negative people from my life. When i started my family at 32 i called my sister. She finally got her life together and i welcome her back into my life. Its proven that some people have a harder time facing their truama. My sister did and maybe her sister did too.
People thinking Steve is the be all and know all is just insane to me. He's a fallible human, just like his guests and just like us. Its super easy to close one's mind and point fingers. It's challenging to open one's mind and look within.
I am a drug screener for children services and yes they do take kids for smoking weed..if family or friends don't take the kids they go to foster care. It's a long process to get them back and it can takes months but you can do it. It's recently became legal in my state. But when I started working for them 3 years ago the caseworkers were removing kids everyday for marijuana use.
@@Yourmomma92shouldn’t be smoking weed with a kid anyways. My sister did while she was pregnant, my neice has tumours in her lungs. Second hand smoke also causes problems with oxygen being produced and released properly in the blood. I feel bad for your kids they had sh!t case workers
Like the Justice and School/Education System, the Foster Care System needs fixing. People have no business in adopting children if they are going to harm them.
S/o to Steve im so thankful for these uploads, i really couldn’t get out of bed today! Some shows do uploads every few months, this show is daily thats why its the 🐐
There's more to it than her just smoking weed ! Maybe weed was one of the reasons but there's definitely more to it than just that reason She needs to start being honest, she allowed her children to be in foster care where they were abused! And she doesn't seem to care too much
Funny how steve doesnt see the dysfunctional system.all he does is look for the negative in every story before listening to it Hes the one who preaches about taking responsibility .. being a cop knowing this and that but when he crashed in a family neighborhood he begged to be left off the hook cuz hes famous.. what happened to taking responsibility.. so many times steve told show guest. "Well dont do this.. wouldnt u think to not do tht... your a parent why?" But he still wrnt behind the wheel drunk..
What mom said is true my son was taken away from me bc of his dads family accusations and no evidence the DA was working with his family I was stable no drugs they claimed I stripped at night leaving my son with unknown people and they kept my son never stripped a day in my life
14:06 Omg I just want to SCREAM through the screen to Steve!!!! Back in the day weed was enough to let a person ROT away under a prison in the eyes of the law! And weed was enough to get kids taken away even now days it can happen! Steven doesn’t get how CPS can impact low income families! Parents have no control when they get ahold of your babies! They can keep them from you and not even tell you why! And if they want they can keep making that list of hoops you have to jump through longer and longer! I’ve seen it happen w my own eyes! And if I wasn’t a smart kid when I was 11 when the system took me from my family based solely on a completely fabricated LIE! Then I may have never seen my mother or siblings ever again! The CPS worker that took me from my family 100% fabricated the entire report he took on me! I got to see what he wrote down later on from the interview that he’d done w me. And I swear on everyone that this man made up an entirely fake story! He even “QUOTED” me saying that I’d said certain statements that were sooo far from the truth and Made up out of thin air!! I was absolutely floored! And as if that wasn’t terrifying enough.. the even more terrifying part.. when I moved back home 5 yrs ago.. I had to go apply for assistance for my family and I.. and while I was waiting at the front counter for the lady to come back to help me.. and who do I see walk out from the back and past where I was standing at the front counter.. none other than the snake 🐍himself! Still working there! I froze and it was like slow motion as I watched him walk by and wave and smile at another case worker.. he was smiling.. but all that I cld think in that moment was.. he was the devil himself, and how many other families lives has this man destroyed since then?! How cld he still be working there? 😮 I was shocked and horrified!
Um Steve People Had Their Kids Taken Away Before Cause Of Weed. She's Not Lying Or Making Any Excuses That Does Happen, Especially Back Then When Weed Was Illegal.
Kids DO get taken over weed. CPS DOES target low income families. Steve , you can't be right every time. Steve, even Your life could be way different if you didn't have a supportive wife, to pick you up when YOU fell. You have no idea, bcas you are on the opposite side of the yard.
The sisters saying they're not victims anymore was extremely powerful. I absolutely love that...... as far as the mom....... she has a lot of explaining to do...... too many excuses & not enough answers. If I were the sisters, I would have my guard up extremely high...... also, Steve is wrong about weed cause it does happen to where people lose their kids behind it
In the past people have been locked up for life for small drug offenses what makes it unbelievable that they take children for the same thing. Are we just going to forget that prisons are private owned and sometimes they do this for financial gain.
Those poor girls! The horrific abuse they went through! 😮 They’re so strong. God Bless them both. ❤ The mother, she’ll give them more grief. She can’t expect her daughters to forgive and forget. It doesn’t work that way! There’s no way in hell I’d let this so called mother back near me! Why didn’t she fight for them?! She’s not a parent. She didn’t try hard enough to get these girls back! They were abandoned! I wonder what the outcome of this story is? 😢
I dont talk to my mom and even if she did fix her life i wouldn't. People arent thinking about the kids story and only thinking "oh the mom eventually did the right thing". Well its the kids right to choose if they want to give her a second chance and if they dont then the "mother" has to accept its because of her actions that her kids want nothing to do with her.
Omg, I know them!! I feel so bad. Bobbi Jo had these girls in our lives for 5 years having us think they were my nieces! She was dragging those girls cross-country in some raggedy van! I’m so sorry this happened to them. My grandmother asked about those girls until the day she passed. I pray for their healing, no one deserves that treatment 😢
I am the daughter of Bobbie Jo, my name is Maggie. My issue was not that she lost us, it’s that the story is never clear and my daughter deserves a mother who’s clear within herself and that she could have showed up whether or not we were taken. We were violated as children. And I do genuinely know that it is a possibility to lose your children to the system. But those children deserve a clear answer when they ask.
I’m sorry but no she couldn’t have come see you girls. You were taken away by CPS, she couldn’t just come see you. When children are taken there’s an automatic protection order against the parent for the safely of the child. If she had just shown up she would have been arrested.
Also, back at that time CPS absolutely were taking children from homes where a parent was smoking weed. It happened all the time back then. Society opinion on weed has only just recently changed in the past 10 or so years. Back then weed was considered just as bad as meth and heroin and they took children away because of it all time. So completely disregarding that explanation as being a lie and not making sense is just wrong. You need to look at the situation in the context of the time in which you were taken, and not through the lens of our opinions on weed today.
The mothers actions scream hard core drugs / child abuse neglect and didn’t care enough for her kids to fight and get them back …. Marijuana only and claiming she did everything to get them back is a load of crap !!!
And Steve needs to understand they do take them away for just weed and that younger sister needs to understand some of us who are abused hide it better and play it off it wasn't to bad and that's due to not letting the bad people win
I feel like Steve should be trying to help the mom get justice along with the girls . You kept my girls away from me and where you placed them they were severely abused !!
She says she did everything to get them back and it was all because of weed smoking but then she says she fell into a bottle and didn't climb out till 2019 .so that's probably why she never got her kids back .
I didn't like the "mother" from the start and still don't. The daughters had horrible lives because of her and she kept lying to protect herself. The truth will never come out
Hey man, when her kids were taken away Law Enforcement and CPS had a completely different view of marijuana than we have today. That was a WAAAAAY different time. And depending on where she lived, it’s 100% possible that the girls were taken away because the mother was smoking weed. That’s an absolute possibility. You need to think about it in the context of what people’s opinion on weed was AT THAT TIME, not what our opinion of weed is today. It’s not as far fetched as you think it is.
Yes they can Steve because one they took my niece from me because my father was a smoker of weed because if they have drugs in the house it's not a suitable place for a child to live are court systems are corrupt and I know that you were a formal police officer but yeah there are some messed up places in court systems
My mom never regained custody of me and my brother, and said little brother got lost in the system… even though she’s now passed away, we eventually rekindled and I still talk to her even though she’s gone now. I hope my mom is watching over us both, I miss her even thru all the stuff our family went thru. I never once doubted she loved her kids.
I love watching Steve Wilco and every now and then a show will piss me off.. this was one of them. I have never been in the system and I don’t know what these girls went thru however he pretty much called the mom a liar and I know people who kids were taking from them for smoking weed. I just hate how he come off at some people about what they went thru if they kids are taking away sorry Steve u don’t know everything about the system
I went through something similar with a foster family. They endangered me they abuse me and I was actually scared myself. I couldn’t tell nobody if I did. I just get in trouble. I had to stand up with my arms up like an airplane or above my head, they threw all my animals out. They took off my favorite blankets, they even said when my mother was still living beat me and my mom and I know who they are. I would put their names out, but I really wish I could be on this to my story and honestly put them on the spot because it’s too late to put them in jail and this was like 18 years ago for me I was 12 had another kidwould put their names on here too, but I can’t. It’s like no one would believe me when this happened 18 years ago was only 12 years old.
It’s crazy I see people more worried about Steve saying he doesn’t believe the mom rather then the fact the mom either lost the kids do to her actions or gave them up for a relationship. So they can go on to be abused… Steve ain’t the one on trial and he doesn’t have to believe anything anyone says 😂
In order to be a survivor you would have had to have been a victim 1st. But I get what this young lady was trying to say. The victim mindset keeps you back.
They will forgive her as they are desperate for a mum, such a shame. They should get the cps and court records to see exactly what their mum did wrong and challenge her on it. Give her an ultimatum be honest or be on your way!
You know how many cops let kids fall through the cracks and everyone has a past even you Steve. It's not the mom's fault her kids were abused she can't control what anyone did to them. I can't stand how
I love steve, but some topics he has no clue on. My friend's son and his girlfriend had a baby, just because she had weed in her system at the time of birth, she almost had her baby taken from her after she had him. So they gave her a chance and did a home visit after they got settled. So yes weed absolutely can get your kid taken away.
That mother was full of it! I am a foster provider for children over 10. The lack of workers and funding have been a problem for many years. I know things have to be pretty bad for child welfare to remove children. They don’t have the resources for “ weed” issues.
I was hoping someone else said this. The children are mixed. CPS is horrible towards mixed children. I don’t know why Steve doesn’t believe the Justice System fails children all the time. Especially mixed children.
Steve, come on you have to know there is deep corruption in the justice system and in the child care system. There are so many horror stories of families who have had their children taken from them for ridiculous reasons and then the children suffer for those reasons and systematic failures. This mom put her children in care to keep them safe and to give them better opportunities and the system and foster family failed them and abused them and the system and the foater family should have been held accountable. You need to do more research into these type of stories and understand this does happen.
Yall will regret reconnecting with her… she’s gonna be nothing but a disappointment and use yall… believe me I had this with my mom…. That mother is out to get something
Yeah, tell that to the fact that she has worked her ass off to make sure we got everything we need now. She ain't a bad mom, she was never a bad mom. I was the first one to reconnect with her, and I have no regrets. Trust me, our situation was much worse in the foster care system that it ever was with her.
I’m not saying they had it better where they were. I’ve a victim also and that mother was a full on meth head and for living with one I can tell u life is pretty shitty and soon as I could I cut ties and when we reunited it was exactly like Steve said. It’s a pitty party for the mom. That mom has no real clue what those girls went through. Evevy problem those girls bring up the mom is gonna make it about herself. So how about u actually go live the nightmare before weighing in on the conversation..
I have. I'm literally the girl in the green. And as one who has had memories with my mom, I can tell you that even if my mom didn't have much to her name, she took care of us the best she could with what little she had. The foster care system took us from her by covering up the reason for that with meth. Although it was part of the problem, it was really because we looked absolutely nothing like our mom. And yeah, there are some cases where kids can be taken for meth, but that's not even the case. The foster care system kept telling us that our mom was dead, that our mom didn't want us, when to be quite honest my family can tell you that that is not the case. The adopted family that my sister and I were put into actively lied to us because we were young and we were stupid. And there's actually more to the story than this episode, mainly because I couldn't say what really happened because of the fact that they did their research based off of the news articles that they found on Google that actually are based off of this story. Like I said before in my original comment, there is so much that is unsaid and twisted about it, and nobody knows what to believe anymore except for those who lived it.
I’ve very sorry u girls lived in such hell but Steve is right about your mom. I hate to say it. Only time will tell I truly hope I’m wrong. I’ll be praying for u . I wish nothing but best for u both
The problem here is that it appears the mother is telling different stories. What happened her giving them away because of the DV? Now it’s MJ and they took them away. I probably couldn’t believe that mother one bit. But I hope they all can settle this and and all have peace together
I’m usually on Steve’s side when it comes to things, but he’s completely clueless on this matter. Joshua Hill of Rockville, Texas had his daughter taken away in 2017 for smoking pot. She later died of abuse in foster care before he had a chance to get her back. I know there was another case just like that in Colorado with a couple and their son before legal marijuana was passed.
Why didn't they do a lie detectir test on her, if they don't believe her?
I agree 100 percent
She refused it. I’m Maggie. Hello.
Steve is totally clueless when it comes to being a low income family battling CPS.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
I wouldn't wager on that.
EXACTLY!!!! Cps is a joke & a game when you're low income. Kids out here being abused & murdered, but I had my son's dad thrown in jail for DV & lost my son for using weed.
@@AngloSaxon-yx8tk Well, this show alone tips the scale in Duckys favor.

Whether Steve wants to accept it or admit it the court system is not always fair and they don't always do the right thing when it comes to the kids.
Nobody said it was fair. But knowing this, people still take a chance using pot around their kids? Why take a chance? It's like you get drunk and you know the cops are out Friday night yeah let's still drive. How dumb do you have to be?

They gave her to my mom, who was a pill abuser and even came out positive for something she wasnt supposed to have.

In south carolina i have seen so many mothers have their children taken JUST FOR WEED!!! first time steve jas ever actually pissed me off with his view of things, but this ABSOLUTELY happens!!!
My kid was taken in SC for 8 months because of SUSPECTED ABUSE. She was reported to have bruises all over and a swollen head from head trauma. After being checked it was confirmed that the “bruises” were birthmarks. And the “swollen head” was just her having a large head.
I did everything they asked to me to do and they kept her. By the time they gave her back, she had no clue who I was. She was gone from 3 months to 11 months. Luckily I got a judge with common sense eventually and she threw the entire bs case out. If it weren’t for her, I could’ve possibly never seen my daughter again .
I’m gonna tell you now. CPS was called on me for “weed” they stayed on me trying to make it like it was the worst thing on earth when it was legal 10 mins away lol I lived in El Paso and NM was about 15 mins away where it was legal. I’m married, make 50k+ on my own ; plus degrees. I told the lady the last time she came “I’m packing their stuff if you claim it the worst parent either” I literally started packing them small bags and she said “omg noooo neverrr we always wanna keep kids with their families if we can help it blah blah blah” called her bluff never seen them folks again in my damn life!!!!
Blah blah blah blah you are a grown up don't break the law. Don't put your substance before your children, period.

@@arimocha Again, for the people in the back who didn't hear, if grass isn't legal in your state, and you have to choose between grass and the custody of your children, do the right thing. Yes I actually have a medical MJ card. Nothing wrong with grass, it's a plant. But I guarantee you if I had to choose between a bowl of ganja and my baby daughter...and this lady chose the weed. Simple as that.
Steve doesn't get it, my neighbor went through pretty much the samething.The worst part is weed is legalized where shes from. Took her kids gave them to someone that had no clue on how to take care of kids. They went through hoops to get their kids back they were abused daily. After 3 yrs and over $130,000 she got them back with a lawyer. She had a civil suit against CPS & the judge. She was awarded 375,000 & the kids were awarded $400,000 that was put in a trust for them. When they turn 18 they'll get a portion & again at 21. The new Judge that heard the case said their babies shouldn't have been taken in the first place.
When I was taken from my mother as a teen I was abused and neglected more than I was with my mother. The system isn’t always there to help you. All the foster parents I had loved the money they got for me and never cared about what I needed. My last foster parent was a saving grace. She helped me graduate and get my life on track before I was thrown to the wolves in the real world at 18.
They make too many mistakes with kids! I'm happy to hear you finally found good foster parents that cared to help you! Some people are angels, other have demons all around em, in em...crazy. So seems like you went through hell & then got to see what real love is like. ❤
Steve I love ya but I had a CPS case in 2009 in Sacramento California. Although my case was not drug related I met many families in family court and group counseling that lost their children for smoking weed. It was illegal back then! And CPS is a government funded human resource/business. The more they “serve and protect” the more funding and profit their “business” receives from our government.
It’s s big fat crock of shit in a lot of the cases. They do too much and demand extreme compliance for those that maybe just made some bad choices but yet there are so many cases out of my county where children are taken from parents, placed in foster homes where they are abused and often die at the hands of the people that are supposed to be providing and protecting these babies.
I know for a fact they do take your kids from you if you use any kind of drug including weed. Sometimes the courts do rail road some parents. It doesn't happen very often but it does happen.
Breaks my heart to hear what these young ladies went through. I also molested while in foster care. I was only 2. Thankfully i was adopted by my amazing parents and didnt suffer any further abuse but to think that these girls had to endure worse than i did every day for years is heartbreaking. I love that they don't see themselves as victims because they really are SURVIVORS ❤❤
What beautiful lady's.. I'm hoping that the mother does make the effort 2 be in her daughters lives . Girls need there mums xx
She has, actually 😊
They WILL take your kids over weed. First hand experience..
I live in SC btw.
How do you tell someone who been through the same exact thing they don't get it because you're more emoti9nal about your trauma. That's why people dismissed depressed folks
As a former foster child and with a sister too. We were both in different foster homes but experienced the abuse of them. My sister took until she was 30 to realize the damage done to us. She completely blocked out the truama and thought i was lying. She was a thief, prostitute and druggie. I cut her out my life at 23 because she refused to face her past. I was always aware of the truama so i was the angry one with lots of emotional truama. No one believed i could stay as sane as i was with my abuse but i refused to turn a blind eye. At 23 i almost killed myself but survived a decided to cut all negative people from my life. When i started my family at 32 i called my sister. She finally got her life together and i welcome her back into my life. Its proven that some people have a harder time facing their truama. My sister did and maybe her sister did too.
I definitely appreciate this comment!! And she definitely hasn’t came to terms with it but I’ll wait for her!!
I haven't seen my mom, sisters, niece or "father" for 20 years. I'd give my left leg to be able to go visit her in hospice 😭
People thinking Steve is the be all and know all is just insane to me. He's a fallible human, just like his guests and just like us. Its super easy to close one's mind and point fingers. It's challenging to open one's mind and look within.
I am a drug screener for children services and yes they do take kids for smoking weed..if family or friends don't take the kids they go to foster care. It's a long process to get them back and it can takes months but you can do it. It's recently became legal in my state. But when I started working for them 3 years ago the caseworkers were removing kids everyday for marijuana use.
What's a drug screener? I never heard of such a job? Could you
Explain what kind of job that is.

They're too open for forgiveness, in my opinion. Because that mama ain't gonna tell them the real truth
Like the Justice and School/Education System, the Foster Care System needs fixing.
People have no business in adopting children if they are going to harm them.

Lol my exact comment last week!
Same here lol
@@butterflyb3716Church sucks
My grandpa was locked up 8 years for a little over a ounce of pot my dad went 8 years without his dad over pot
I don’t understand why they didn’t give mom a lie detector test??
I kept waiting for it but it never came
S/o to Steve im so thankful for these uploads, i really couldn’t get out of bed today! Some shows do uploads every few months, this show is daily thats why its the 🐐
Where is the lie detector test
Good point, that would have cleared up a lot!
Too many criminals end up becoming foster parents and adoptive parents.
the mother needs to step up and be honest with her kids, you can clearly see the hurt in their face and they just want clarity.
She told her truth!! Just because Steve doesn’t believe it doesn’t make her a liar….
There's more to it than her just smoking weed ! Maybe weed was one of the reasons but there's definitely more to it than just that reason
She needs to start being honest, she allowed her children to be in foster care where they were abused! And she doesn't seem to care too much
She said later that she was a drunk until 2019
Abusing alcohol will do this.
We were taken in 2007, and adopted in 2010. She couldn't have abused us during that time.
Times were different, plenty of kids taken in Kansas and other criminalized states from parents due to marijuana use.
Funny how steve doesnt see the dysfunctional system.all he does is look for the negative in every story before listening to it Hes the one who preaches about taking responsibility .. being a cop knowing this and that but when he crashed in a family neighborhood he begged to be left off the hook cuz hes famous.. what happened to taking responsibility.. so many times steve told show guest. "Well dont do this.. wouldnt u think to not do tht... your a parent why?" But he still wrnt behind the wheel drunk..
The "why didn't you come get me Mama?" broke me 😭😭😭
When the sisters hugged i cried, broke my heart😭
What mom said is true my son was taken away from me bc of his dads family accusations and no evidence the DA was working with his family I was stable no drugs they claimed I stripped at night leaving my son with unknown people and they kept my son never stripped a day in my life
14:06 Omg I just want to SCREAM through the screen to Steve!!!! Back in the day weed was enough to let a person ROT away under a prison in the eyes of the law! And weed was enough to get kids taken away even now days it can happen! Steven doesn’t get how CPS can impact low income families! Parents have no control when they get ahold of your babies! They can keep them from you and not even tell you why! And if they want they can keep making that list of hoops you have to jump through longer and longer! I’ve seen it happen w my own eyes! And if I wasn’t a smart kid when I was 11 when the system took me from my family based solely on a completely fabricated LIE! Then I may have never seen my mother or siblings ever again! The CPS worker that took me from my family 100% fabricated the entire report he took on me! I got to see what he wrote down later on from the interview that he’d done w me. And I swear on everyone that this man made up an entirely fake story! He even “QUOTED” me saying that I’d said certain statements that were sooo far from the truth and Made up out of thin air!! I was absolutely floored! And as if that wasn’t terrifying enough.. the even more terrifying part.. when I moved back home 5 yrs ago.. I had to go apply for assistance for my family and I.. and while I was waiting at the front counter for the lady to come back to help me.. and who do I see walk out from the back and past where I was standing at the front counter.. none other than the snake 🐍himself! Still working there! I froze and it was like slow motion as I watched him walk by and wave and smile at another case worker.. he was smiling.. but all that I cld think in that moment was.. he was the devil himself, and how many other families lives has this man destroyed since then?! How cld he still be working there? 😮 I was shocked and horrified!
Um Steve People Had Their Kids Taken Away Before Cause Of Weed. She's Not Lying Or Making Any Excuses That Does Happen, Especially Back Then When Weed Was Illegal.
Kids DO get taken over weed. CPS DOES target low income families. Steve , you can't be right every time. Steve, even Your life could be way different if you didn't have a supportive wife, to pick you up when YOU fell. You have no idea, bcas you are on the opposite side of the yard.
Steve you don't know the welfare system they are joke I did everything to get my kids back
The foster system is screwed bad enough a kid is not with there family. But they put them in horrible situations.
The sisters saying they're not victims anymore was extremely powerful. I absolutely love that...... as far as the mom....... she has a lot of explaining to do...... too many excuses & not enough answers. If I were the sisters, I would have my guard up extremely high...... also, Steve is wrong about weed cause it does happen to where people lose their kids behind it
You can smoke a forest worth of weed; you don't end up looking cracked out like that.
Ain't THAT the whole truth!
Period
Well she said she became a severe alcoholic. Now that will make you look like that after years of drinking everyday
It wasnt just weed stealth.
Drinking does that.
They should've gave the mom a lie detector test, I know a crack head when I see one.
Yeah she was giving off that she was on something
In the past people have been locked up for life for small drug offenses what makes it unbelievable that they take children for the same thing. Are we just going to forget that prisons are private owned and sometimes they do this for financial gain.
I love these young woman so muchhhhhhh….. I’ve always said I’m not a victim I AM A SURVIVOR! They couldn’t have said it better
this one broke my heart
Those poor girls! The horrific abuse they went through! 😮
They’re so strong. God Bless them both. ❤
The mother, she’ll give them more grief. She can’t expect her daughters to forgive and forget. It doesn’t work that way!
There’s no way in hell I’d let this so called mother back near me!
Why didn’t she fight for them?!
She’s not a parent. She didn’t try hard enough to get these girls back! They were abandoned!
I wonder what the outcome of this story is? 😢
Your take is so trash just stop
I dont talk to my mom and even if she did fix her life i wouldn't. People arent thinking about the kids story and only thinking "oh the mom eventually did the right thing". Well its the kids right to choose if they want to give her a second chance and if they dont then the "mother" has to accept its because of her actions that her kids want nothing to do with her.
Being a former police officer has his faith to tight in the system he needs to see things on the other side for ONCE in his life
Omg, I know them!! I feel so bad. Bobbi Jo had these girls in our lives for 5 years having us think they were my nieces! She was dragging those girls cross-country in some raggedy van! I’m so sorry this happened to them. My grandmother asked about those girls until the day she passed. I pray for their healing, no one deserves that treatment 😢
I am the daughter of Bobbie Jo, my name is Maggie. My issue was not that she lost us, it’s that the story is never clear and my daughter deserves a mother who’s clear within herself and that she could have showed up whether or not we were taken. We were violated as children. And I do genuinely know that it is a possibility to lose your children to the system. But those children deserve a clear answer when they ask.
I’m sorry but no she couldn’t have come see you girls. You were taken away by CPS, she couldn’t just come see you. When children are taken there’s an automatic protection order against the parent for the safely of the child. If she had just shown up she would have been arrested.
Also, back at that time CPS absolutely were taking children from homes where a parent was smoking weed. It happened all the time back then. Society opinion on weed has only just recently changed in the past 10 or so years. Back then weed was considered just as bad as meth and heroin and they took children away because of it all time. So completely disregarding that explanation as being a lie and not making sense is just wrong. You need to look at the situation in the context of the time in which you were taken, and not through the lens of our opinions on weed today.
The mothers actions scream hard core drugs / child abuse neglect and didn’t care enough for her kids to fight and get them back …. Marijuana only and claiming she did everything to get them back is a load of crap !!!
And Steve needs to understand they do take them away for just weed and that younger sister needs to understand some of us who are abused hide it better and play it off it wasn't to bad and that's due to not letting the bad people win
That's is your state other states do take kids for weed I do know that . Even after you complete everything it all depends on your case worker.
I know Texas does. Shit, that's exactly where everything happened -_-
I feel like Steve should be trying to help the mom get justice along with the girls . You kept my girls away from me and where you placed them they were severely abused !!
You should have tested the mother to see if she really lost the kids over weed.
9:15 I know this is beside the point, but I zoomed in on her nails. And they are badass.. probably the coolest design I've seen. 🐍
Thank you love!!!!
This is gonna be me and my baby one day ❤ right on Steve
Everywhere else too
And every where else
She says she did everything to get them back and it was all because of weed smoking but then she says she fell into a bottle and didn't climb out till 2019 .so that's probably why she never got her kids back .
I didn't like the "mother" from the start and still don't. The daughters had horrible lives because of her and she kept lying to protect herself. The truth will never come out
I agree, yes they do take kids away for weed. Maybe not in Chicago but in smaller rural areas, YES they do!!!
Beautiful sisters ❤
AWH WHEN THE SISTERS HUGGED 🥹
Hey man, when her kids were taken away Law Enforcement and CPS had a completely different view of marijuana than we have today. That was a WAAAAAY different time. And depending on where she lived, it’s 100% possible that the girls were taken away because the mother was smoking weed. That’s an absolute possibility. You need to think about it in the context of what people’s opinion on weed was AT THAT TIME, not what our opinion of weed is today. It’s not as far fetched as you think it is.
Yes they can Steve because one they took my niece from me because my father was a smoker of weed because if they have drugs in the house it's not a suitable place for a child to live are court systems are corrupt and I know that you were a formal police officer but yeah there are some messed up places in court systems
In the state of Tennessee, it IS a LEVEL 1 OFFENSE and YES they do remove your kids for it. PERIOD!
I'm the one in the green shirt. And damn, there's so much that hasn't been said.

@@mannygomez5213 I think so... Either that or they were booing my mom.
@@Luna_Gamer_-ec7xu nah i dont think they were booing your mom
My mom never regained custody of me and my brother, and said little brother got lost in the system… even though she’s now passed away, we eventually rekindled and I still talk to her even though she’s gone now. I hope my mom is watching over us both, I miss her even thru all the stuff our family went thru. I never once doubted she loved her kids.
steve is so clueless on the unjust justice system, it genuinely grinds my gears. just because you’re a cop, doesn’t mean everything is perfect.
CAM•i•AM WE LOVE YOU STEVE ❤️ and Steve’s family 🙂🙂
I love watching Steve Wilco and every now and then a show will piss me off.. this was one of them. I have never been in the system and I don’t know what these girls went thru however he pretty much called the mom a liar and I know people who kids were taking from them for smoking weed. I just hate how he come off at some people about what they went thru if they kids are taking away sorry Steve u don’t know everything about the system
In sorry but the state I live they take kids over weed
I went through something similar with a foster family. They endangered me they abuse me and I was actually scared myself. I couldn’t tell nobody if I did. I just get in trouble. I had to stand up with my arms up like an airplane or above my head, they threw all my animals out. They took off my favorite blankets, they even said when my mother was still living beat me and my mom and I know who they are. I would put their names out, but I really wish I could be on this to my story and honestly put them on the spot because it’s too late to put them in jail and this was like 18 years ago for me I was 12 had another kidwould put their names on here too, but I can’t. It’s like no one would believe me when this happened 18 years ago was only 12 years old.
It’s crazy I see people more worried about Steve saying he doesn’t believe the mom rather then the fact the mom either lost the kids do to her actions or gave them up for a relationship. So they can go on to be abused… Steve ain’t the one on trial and he doesn’t have to believe anything anyone says 😂
Sir as someone who works in the ER I can tell you they absolutely do get taken away for marijuana.
In order to be a survivor you would have had to have been a victim 1st.
But I get what this young lady was trying to say.
The victim mindset keeps you back.
Things where different back in the day, I do, feel for her kids
They will forgive her as they are desperate for a mum, such a shame. They should get the cps and court records to see exactly what their mum did wrong and challenge her on it. Give her an ultimatum be honest or be on your way!
The CAS and CPS files can be filled with lies as well so that's not exactly an 100% thing
I agree!!
Beautiful young ladies but the mother isn't taking accountability for what she allowed those girls to go through.
You know how many cops let kids fall through the cracks and everyone has a past even you Steve. It's not the mom's fault her kids were abused she can't control what anyone did to them. I can't stand how
The mother should have taken a lie detector test
This so called mother is a liar.
I love steve, but some topics he has no clue on. My friend's son and his girlfriend had a baby, just because she had weed in her system at the time of birth, she almost had her baby taken from her after she had him. So they gave her a chance and did a home visit after they got settled. So yes weed absolutely can get your kid taken away.
NOT victims - Survivors 🔥
That mother was full of it! I am a foster provider for children over 10. The lack of workers and funding have been a problem for many years. I know things have to be pretty bad for child welfare to remove children. They don’t have the resources for “ weed” issues.
Heartbreaking when she said why didn’t you come get me mom. That stings…
As a mother now, my baby heals that pain. And she helps me every day.
I was hoping someone else said this. The children are mixed. CPS is horrible towards mixed children. I don’t know why Steve doesn’t believe the Justice System fails children all the time. Especially mixed children.
Steve, come on you have to know there is deep corruption in the justice system and in the child care system. There are so many horror stories of families who have had their children taken from them for ridiculous reasons and then the children suffer for those reasons and systematic failures. This mom put her children in care to keep them safe and to give them better opportunities and the system and foster family failed them and abused them and the system and the foater family should have been held accountable. You need to do more research into these type of stories and understand this does happen.
Yall will regret reconnecting with her… she’s gonna be nothing but a disappointment and use yall… believe me I had this with my mom…. That mother is out to get something
Yeah, tell that to the fact that she has worked her ass off to make sure we got everything we need now. She ain't a bad mom, she was never a bad mom. I was the first one to reconnect with her, and I have no regrets. Trust me, our situation was much worse in the foster care system that it ever was with her.
I’m not saying they had it better where they were. I’ve a victim also and that mother was a full on meth head and for living with one I can tell u life is pretty shitty and soon as I could I cut ties and when we reunited it was exactly like Steve said. It’s a pitty party for the mom. That mom has no real clue what those girls went through. Evevy problem those girls bring up the mom is gonna make it about herself. So how about u actually go live the nightmare before weighing in on the conversation..
I have. I'm literally the girl in the green. And as one who has had memories with my mom, I can tell you that even if my mom didn't have much to her name, she took care of us the best she could with what little she had. The foster care system took us from her by covering up the reason for that with meth. Although it was part of the problem, it was really because we looked absolutely nothing like our mom. And yeah, there are some cases where kids can be taken for meth, but that's not even the case. The foster care system kept telling us that our mom was dead, that our mom didn't want us, when to be quite honest my family can tell you that that is not the case. The adopted family that my sister and I were put into actively lied to us because we were young and we were stupid. And there's actually more to the story than this episode, mainly because I couldn't say what really happened because of the fact that they did their research based off of the news articles that they found on Google that actually are based off of this story. Like I said before in my original comment, there is so much that is unsaid and twisted about it, and nobody knows what to believe anymore except for those who lived it.
Yeah but your situation is not a one all be all for everyone though. We can go based off behavior but that doesn’t mean everyone’s will be like that.
I’ve very sorry u girls lived in such hell but Steve is right about your mom. I hate to say it. Only time will tell I truly hope I’m wrong. I’ll be praying for u . I wish nothing but best for u both
CPS work on their personal feelings 🙏🏾💖
They should of done a lie detector test on her and give her a chance for her truth to come out I was waiting on the test
The problem here is that it appears the mother is telling different stories. What happened her giving them away because of the DV? Now it’s MJ and they took them away. I probably couldn’t believe that mother one bit. But I hope they all can settle this and and all have peace together
Steve owes this lady an apology as it’s obvious he has the wrong information about a child being taken away for the use of smoking dope
I’m usually on Steve’s side when it comes to things, but he’s completely clueless on this matter. Joshua Hill of Rockville, Texas had his daughter taken away in 2017 for smoking pot. She later died of abuse in foster care before he had a chance to get her back. I know there was another case just like that in Colorado with a couple and their son before legal marijuana was passed.
